well, being the president of the united states, craig, is one lonely job. you have a lot of people working for you, there's a lot of glamour to the job, but at the end of the day, it's very lonely. you have to make some pretty incredible decisions. you know, when i worked for president bush, one of the things that always kind of got to me is those moments when you realize that he started off every morning, and he started awfully early every morning, getting an assessment of what was going on with the war on terror, and all the problems with people who had lost their lives in the skirmishes the day before. for every president, republican or democrat, it's a sobering job. it's a job -- >> and that's what she was speaking to there. >> that's what she's speaking to there. i hope you wouldn't try to apply anything else. >> but that was something we came across, and we were like, yeah, we wanted to get you to elaborate on that. thank you for doing that. i want to turn to paul ryan for a quick moment here. this is what the "national review" is reporting this morni

as we know, these elections that we choose to have in the united states are not decided by the popular vote. instead, we have the electoral votes where everybody gets another vote for the states that allocate their electrical votes will so that gives us outcomes in a number of battleground states. this is as we laid it out in the first case. we have six states in the midwest area, ohio, michigan, and ohio, states in the southwest, colorado, new mexico and nevada. virginia and florida in the south. all of the states are pretty different. the six states in the midwest are much more heavy and have a slow level of demographic change and they are more bechler changing slowly. that is favorable in showing preference for barack obama could with that in mind, let's look at some of the particular swing states that are in play. more than any other state, perhaps ohio is one of the pogroms. a state that was believed to be for mitt romney, but if obama holds all six electoral votes, he is only four electoral votes short of victory. critical romney strategy in the state of ohio. that is not happeni

bush in 2000, al gore, the vice president of the united states, was seen as a great debate, george w. bush not so much. but then al gore, you know, had some fumbles and in terms of the sighing he did and a lot of people were paying attention to that. and bush all of a sudden looked a whole lot better. these debates can be significant for relatively trivial things like that, if, for example, and you remember when the first president bush, george h.w. bush, you know, at one of the presidential debates started looking at his watch and it looked like he was ready to move on. let's get out of here, already. that hurt him, i think, in his re-election bid against bill clinton back in 1992. it is part of the game. it is what goes on. but i think these debates are going to be really, really important for that, 6%, 7%, 8% who are legitimately undecided or switchable, haven't completely made up their minds. they're going to be watching the three presidential debates, the one vice presidential debate in october. and they'll make up their minds. i think all the people who are voting now early, the
